Replace QWebEngineView-based start page with a rich native Qt panel that
fetches items directly from the Silo REST API. QWebEngineView is not
available on conda-forge for Qt6.
Start panel features:
- Database Items list with search (from SiloClient.list_items)
- Recent Files list from FreeCAD preferences
- Real-time Activity Feed via SSE (SiloEventListener)
- Context menu: Open in Create, Open in Browser, Copy Part Number
- Open in Browser button (QDesktopServices)
- Catppuccin Mocha dark theme styling
URL scheme support:
- handle_kindred_url() function for kindred://item/{part_number} URLs
- Startup hook in InitGui.py for cold-start URL arguments
Closes#167
Replaces the default FreeCAD Start page with a dual-mode view:
- Online: QWebEngineView loading the Silo web app
- Offline: native Qt fallback with recent files and connectivity status
The command override is registered at InitGui.py load time, before
the C++ StartLauncher fires.
- Fix SSE listener URL: _listen() used '/api/events' but _get_api_url()
already returns a URL ending in '/api', producing '/api/api/events'.
Changed to '/events' to match _test_sse().
- Replace all Command.get().Activated() calls in silo_origin.py with
FreeCADGui.runCommand(). The C++ Gui::Command wrapper returned by
Command.get() does not expose .Activated() to Python.
Replace the dead-end warning in Silo_BOM with a question dialog that
offers to register the document via Silo_New. If the user accepts and
registration succeeds, the BOM dialog opens seamlessly.
Create silo-tag.svg, silo-rollback.svg, and silo-status.svg in the
Catppuccin Mocha style matching existing silo icons. These were
referenced by _icon() but did not exist, causing the commands to
render without toolbar icons.
Enhance the Database Activity panel in SiloAuthDockWidget:
- Show latest revision number and comment inline per activity entry
- Truncate long descriptions with ellipsis, full text in tooltip
- Mark locally checked-out items with green color and "local" badge
- Double-click opens local file or triggers checkout from server
- Right-click context menu: Open in Create, Open in Browser,
Copy Part Number, View Revisions
Closes#9
Replace the infinite fixed-delay retry loop with exponential backoff
(1s, 2s, 4s, ... capped at 60s) and a max retry limit of 10.
Changes to SiloEventListener:
- Expand connection_status signal to (status, retry_count, error_message)
- Add exponential backoff: min(BASE_DELAY * 2^retries, MAX_DELAY)
- Add terminal "gave_up" state after MAX_RETRIES exhausted
- Capture and forward error messages from failed connection attempts
Changes to SiloAuthDockWidget._on_sse_status:
- Show retry count: "Reconnecting (3/10)..."
- Show "Disconnected" (red) on gave_up state
- Log each attempt to FreeCAD console (PrintWarning/PrintError)
- Set tooltip with last error message on the status label
Closes#2
Add a diagnostics command that sequentially tests:
- DNS resolution of the server hostname
- Health endpoint (/health)
- Readiness endpoint (/ready)
- Auth endpoint (/auth/me) with token
- SSE event stream (/events)
Results are printed to the FreeCAD console with PASS/FAIL status.
Closes#3
Add a SiloStartPanel dock widget that shows connection status, local
checkouts, recent silo activity, and local recent files. Automatically
shown when the Silo workbench is activated.
Sections:
- Connection status badge (green/gray dot with hostname)
- My Checkouts: scans local projects dir for .FCStd files, shows part
number and description, double-click to open
- Recent Silo Activity: fetches from server, badges items present
locally, double-click to open or checkout
- Local Recent Files: reads FreeCAD MRU list, double-click to open
Auto-refreshes every 60 seconds. Panel is reused if already open.
Closes#5
Add server mode awareness to the FreeCAD client. The mode (normal,
read-only, degraded, offline) is fetched from the /ready endpoint on
each status refresh and updated in real-time via SSE server.state events.
Changes:
- Add _server_mode global and _fetch_server_mode() helper that queries
/ready and maps response status to mode string
- Add server_mode_changed signal to SiloEventListener, handle
server.state SSE events in _dispatch()
- Add mode banner to SiloAuthDockWidget: colored bar shown when server
is not in normal mode (yellow=read-only, orange=degraded, red=offline)
- Update _refresh_status() to fetch mode and update banner
- Disable write commands (New, Save, Commit, Push) when server is not
in normal mode via IsActive() checks
Closes#4
The freecad/ directory is not a Python package (no __init__.py) — it is
added directly to sys.path by FreeCAD. The relative import
'from .silo_commands import ...' fails when silo_origin is imported as a
top-level module, causing Silo origin registration to silently fail.
Change to absolute import 'from silo_commands import ...' to match
the import style used everywhere else in the directory.
Remove the separate Silo workbench toolbar and Silo_ToggleMode command.
File operations (New/Open/Save) are now handled by the standard File
toolbar via the origin system. The Silo menu retains admin commands
(Settings, Auth, Info, BOM, TagProjects, SetStatus, Rollback).
Closes#65
- Add missing _get_auth_token() function that caused NameError in Settings
- Replace _client.auth_username/role/source() calls with _get_auth_*()
helpers (methods don't exist on SiloClient, crashed auth dock widget)
- Fix connect() in silo_origin.py to show login dialog instead of just
revealing the dock panel (was using non-existent Command.get() API)
- Separate toolbar (file ops) from menu (admin/management commands)
- Remove DEBUG logging from Silo_Save command
- Fix long line formatting in silo_origin.py
FreeCAD workbench for Silo PLM integration. Uses shared silo-client
package (submodule) for API communication.
Changes from monorepo version:
- SiloClient class removed, imported from silo_client package
- FreeCADSiloSettings adapter wraps FreeCAD.ParamGet() preferences
- Init.py adds silo-client to sys.path at startup
- All command classes and UI unchanged
